These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 2 probs (LW keeps restarting & can't access options) 1. Vista home premium 32bit 2. windows 3. 2GB 4. 300GB 5. broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Uh? 7. Where are you trying to connect from ? home 8. LW 4.14.10 Java 9. Virgin (NTL)? 10.Test worked! 11. NO 12. Using LW just over 6 months 13. _No 14. UPnP enabled 15. Panda 2007 Firstly, everytime I close LW it restarts itself. Its probably something really simple as I cant see anyone else with this problem. Also when I select tools/options the menu pops up for a second then disappears. Seem to of fixed first problem by deleting LW folder in roaming, but sometimes it will work ok for a while when I reinstall the program. Secondly, This is not LW related but any help would be appreciated. When i run Panda it comes up with a folder "\'\" in the user folder. I can access it from the search menu and as soon as i delete these rar files more turn up. they are all 110kb in size. I have tried other P2P programs in the past and I think I may let one of them use part of my hard drive for storage. It's really annoying as there are thousands of them and I want rid. can anyone help? With thanks Stew61  |

| In LW tools > options > advanced > system startup. Untick 'run on system startup > apply > ok. This will fix things if LW starts just once, when your computer starts. If LW's continually trying to start, sounds like you have a worm. There's a fix here to try, it's worked for a lot of people. Click on the link below. The easy fix for Limewire popping up every few seconds (try this first) And more info here. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! If you still need help, try one of the sites below...they're more specialised in helping with malware issues  Spyware Warrior :: Index CastleCops® » Security Forums SpywareInfo Forum FAQ - SWI Forums Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan all files that you download before you open them. I'm no expert, but it sounds like the Panda problem's related to your computer being infected. Within that 'Viruses on the network' thread is info about multiple zip/rar files appearing. That thread has links to various AV programs & online scans. |

| Thank you, that BFU is pretty cool. However I have to run it every time I start my PC. Otherwise Windows just disappears. My AV is working and Windows firewall. I am going to look into those other links you suggested. Are there other scripts for BFU? As to the problem with ther Users\name\'\ files. I don't know where I go them from, and the \'\ folder does not show up in Windows explore, but does when I search for it. Panda deleted nearly 40,000 files from that folder yesterday. Then i ran a search and there was even more. I disconnected from the internet and deleted all the files again and there was even more when I again did a search. Then I remembered Command prompt. I DIR -d \'\ and it must of taken at least 3 mins to list the files in that directory. then it was a simple DEL \'\ and all gone. I've just repeated the search and there are files there in \'\ but when I delete them it says "no longer locates in \'\" . So it looks like they've gone. Sorry if Ive rambled but they took up a lot of harddrive and I wondered if anyone else had had this problem? One last question does it make any differnce it I disable the DHT and TLS options? Again thank you for your help. |

| Disabling DHT & TLS might mean that LW uses a bit less of your computer's resources. You can disable them if you like! This thread (from another forum) suggests that TLS might not even be in use anyway. LimeWire Forums I really think you should go to a site that can offer you specialised malware help  |

| Birdy I am working on it. i am working through spybot at the moment. BFU seems to of fixed the WW restarting but I did do a system restore after and LW is working as good as ever. again thanks for your time and input. Timsns those files have come back once since I deleted them all in command prompt. Which with Vista is in the accessories folder. If/when I finally find out how to permanently get rid I will let you know. |

| I have the same problem, I have done everything and there are no worms in my computer. This is definitely something to do with limewire.. Have tried many things but every time I exit limewire it pops back up.. Really annoying.. Any suggestions?? Thanks! |

| restarting and configuration problems I too have the restarting and config problems. Running Windows XP (media edition) LW 4.14.10 pro Java 1.6.0_03 Norton Firewall & virus (up to date) I have tried BFU, ran Norton several times, did clean out a "downloader" Tried different version of Java (as recommended in forum) Still having problems shutting down LW Also when I tried configuring LW the option menu flashes and disappears after one second. (Have tried the delete lime wire folder solution but it keeps re-appearing) Also discovered the dreaded '/ folder and deleted the files through Dos prompt option. Never had any problems with older versions of Limewire pro. Christina |

| Download AVGfree AV, update it & then scan your computer...there's' a link for download in this thread: tools/options That AV found the trojan which was causing the problems with options for the original poster. See whether that also fixes the popping up problem for you. If not, look at Stew61's posts here in this thread...he did a system restore after using the BFU. Give that a try. If things are still bad, go to one of the malware removal sites listed in post #2 of this thread. |
